Too Faced Natural Beauty for Spring 2012

Too faced is releasing a "Natural Beauty" collection for spring 2012!
Wait...is it spring already? Well, not really! In fact, it's the 31st of December and I'm just about to jet off to New Year's dinner...with my New Years resolution that I will ONLY haul two things from the new Too Faced collection, even though I'm attracted to all of it! Do you want to know which ones? Keep reading!

Too Faced è già pronta per rilasciare la collezione primaverile "bellezza naturale" per la primavera 2012...strano, dato che siamo al 31 dicembre! Ve la introduco brevemente prima di scappare al cenone di capodanno con la mia risoluzione di prendere solo DUE cose dalla nuova collezione, anche se la vorrei tutta!!! Sperando ovviamente che arrivino a breve in Italia...


The images are taken from the Too Faced website! (Immagini dal sito di Too Faced!)

Indian Vanity Case - "The Lord Of The Rings"

Here is the look that I did for the contest featured at Indian Vanity Case!
Hope you like it!!!

The name of the look is "The Lord of the Rings" because I'm a huuuuuge fan and I'd been wanting to do a dark forest green and gold look for a while...and I copied some of Tolkien's elven script!!!
The quality of the image is not too great, I know; unfortunately I still have a rather crappy camera! Sorry!

Here it is:

Products used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight
Essence Gel Eyeliner in 04 "I love NYC"
Essence eyeliner brush
L'Oreal Chrome Intensity Eyeshadow in 186 Timeless Green
Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil in Clinic
Mac Eyeshadow in Woodwinked
Mac Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe
Sephora Eyeshadow in Universal Beige
Bottega Verde eyepencil in Pure Gold
Maybelline Expert Eyes Crayon Oriental in Starry Green
Essence Liquid Liner in Black
Cargo Triple Action Mascara

Love!

Lush Honeytrap (Gustami!) and None Of Your Beeswax (Usami!)

Ah, Lush! I SO wanted to love you...but here's the thing. Everytime I enter a Lush shop I honestly think I'm going to die because of the overpowering smells.
But I was so attracted to Lush lip balms that I really wanted to try them...did these pass the test?
Read on to find out!


Ah Lush! Volevo proprio amarti...ma sai cosa? Ogni volta che entro in un negozio Lush la combinazione di tutti i profumi è quasi letale per me!
Ma ero così attratta dai burrocacao Lush che dovevo assolutamente provarli! Hanno passato il test? Leggete per scoprirlo!

Fitocose - Vanilla Scented Water

I know..I've been missing for a while! But I'm back, tired and sleepy but here...although this will be a short(ish) review because i REALLY need to sleep!
Onto serious stuff!
I love perfumes...I really do...
Or at least I used to.
Thing is, I can't wear them anymore because of my allergies; the alcohol in particular irritates the hell out of me and gives me migrains. So what's a girl to do?
I started my search for "scented waters", lighter perfumes which don't linger as much and tend to fade very quickly. I know the fading is a turn off for most of you but I really don't like a scent which starts off strongly and stays strong for the whole day...nightmare!
Unfortunately, most scented waters contain.....you guessed it, alcohol. So they're really just lighter perfumes...which annoy me just as much as the "real" perfumes. 
That is, until I came across Fitocose....

L'Oreal Perfect Clean for sensitive skin - Review

And Hallelujah! Yes, I'm finally back from:

1) Holidays

2) Start of term law exams! (Yes, I know, how great is that?! We get exams BEFORE the term starts, so we can be nice and stressed at the start of September! Yay!)

Little OT, I know, but the important thing is...I'm back, and today I'm reviewing a facial cleanser which I used quite a lot this summer.

The facts

L'Oreal Perfect Clean is a cleanser! (I know, you REALLY needed that piece of information...)
